If you are a parent of a child with special needs, including a child diagnosed with autism, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder looking for a holistic and natural way to address your child's issues, I can help you in ways that others have not.  I can teach you the ways that the doctors have not, and will not.  And I can help you make those changes in the place that matters most -- at home.

Healing Your Child... Healing Yourself

What would it be like for your child (and you) to sleep through the night on a regular basis? To see your child's problem behaviors drastically reduced, and her cognitive skills increase? To get great reports from teachers and therapists? To see your child's anxiety decrease and self-confidence blossom?

I can provide you with the tools to make changes that will improve the health and well-being of your child, and your entire family. You will learn that the right foods can change everything. As your child's diet and your own diet change, so will your lives. Together we can succeed.

I am a Certified Holistic Health Counselor and Nutrition Consultant and I hold a degree in Natural Health Sciences. I have over 20 years experience working with children and parents in the capacity of teacher, specialized caregiver and special diets cook. I also am a Board Certified and Accredited Member of The American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP), with affiliations to The State University Of New York (SUNY). Further, I am a trained professional and personal chef having cooked in restaurants and homes worldwide.

I use a holistic and biomedical approach with children (and adults) based on the most effective healing modalities known today. I will provide for you an innovative and effective system that will radically improve your child's symptoms and well-being. In my years of experience working with children facing similar challenges, I have developed an effective, individualized protocol to immediately address even the most severe issues. As we work toward healing your child, I also will guide you in a holistic health and nutrition program for your own healing. Parents (rightly) focus on the urgency of addressing their child's needs but often forget themselves in the process. In order to optimally heal, a child needs physically and emotionally healthy parents. You as a parent need to be fully available to your child and I can help you to achieve that.

Please view the fourteen minute video "Hope After Diagnosis" from Tacanow.org, to more clearly understand the view of the thousands of families whose children have been helped or recovered on a biomedical model approach for autism.

Now, imagine what a day in your life might look like after working with me:

You can safely and enjoyably take your child anywhere, including restaurants, shopping, swimming, and public events.

You feel comfortable leaving your child with caregivers, not just therapists, family members, or special aides.

You get spontaneous hugs, re-establish eye contact, and share smiles with your child.

You can enjoy time with friends, and relax and re-establish intimacy with your spouse.

You feel better in your own body, in your relationships, and in effectively navigating your marriage and family life through the stress that autism and ADHD has introduced into your life.

Is all this possible? Yes, and more. I am here to help you achieve your goals -- for your child, your family, and yourself. I provide in-home services throughout the New York Metro area, with phone consultation programs nationwide.
